Festival

On the street trades and skills of times gone by are demonstrated by those for whom it was once a daily chore. Basket making, butter making and hand spinning are on display. Also we have farm animals on show. Cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, pigs and even turkeys have appeared at Dunderry Fair previously and some are for sale. So be prepared for some traditional haggling if you fancy bringing home a new addition!
